9) Photos: We are requesting to be able to take photos on the facility yards again.

10) Nude Books: CDCR has removed all nude books owned by prisoners without proper authority, the Zimmer Bill never passed.

11) Packages: We are requesting that our packages be sent personally by our families as opposed to a contracted CDCR vendor.

12) Referee: We are requesting an impartial referee to preside over 115 hearings to ensure a fair hearing under the 6th amendment of the U.S. Constitution; instead of CDCR officers who prejudicially have an interest to uphold the officers’ report-proforms.

13) Defective Products: We are requesting that CDCR stop the selling of defective products via package vendors such as TV’s, CD players etc. which are sometimes issued with an operational defect.

14) Withdrawing Funds: We request that the CDCR stop withdrawing funds from our trust account for restitution purposes when the monies are sent by family members or friends and are not legally considered inmate wages.

16) Equal Protection Clause: it is requested that Male prisoners be able to make the same purchases in package items as Female prisoners. For example female prisoners are allowed to purchase jeans, honey and sugar products, and men are not allowed. There is no division amongst the two other than gender.

18) Sexual Orientation: We request that the CDCR provide alternative to and resources for heterosexual male and female prisoners who do not engage in homosexual activities, such as condom venders for homosexual prisoners in hopes to reduce the spread of STD’s. Alternatively we ask that sex education classes, massage vibrators and/or therapeutic dolls.

19) Underground rules: CDCR has constantly utilized unwritten rules when dealing with the prisoner population, and because the prisoners may complain about the underground rule the officers will retaliate against the prisoners as a whole in order to make the rule acceptable by the prison population, this violates our constitution.

20) Wages: We are requesting a pay raise from the standard 13 cents an hour to $1.00 an hour in respect to inmate labor.

21) Visiting Clearance Delay: We request that the long delay in processing the visiting forms be put to a halt, due process was not created to discourage inmate family members.
